Douluo Dalu: Ice Demon Yuhao
Page 109
After a long time, the figure disappeared, and only the image of the Conferred God Platform remained on the soul guide screen.
The hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo was sealed in the God Conferring Platform. No matter how powerful it was before it turned into a human, it was powerless to resist at this moment.
It was called an embryo, but it was not a baby. It was just a cloud of white air, vaguely revealing a human shape.
The mysterious forces in each luxurious private room were salivating over this mysterious 100,000-year soul beast embryo. Because this 100,000-year soul beast embryo not only means a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, but also has another use.
That is to provide the user with a second martial soul.
Although everyone at Shrek Academy was surprised, they were not interested in the hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo, as it was left for the big sects to compete for.
In Huo Yuhao’s sea of consciousness, Ice Emperor felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
“That 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo seems to have… ice attributes? Didn’t she just say that this embryo was obtained in the Far North?”
“I didn’t expect that my compatriots in the Far North would choose to transform and rebuild this road. I wonder which tribe they are from.”
“Humanity is increasingly exploring the Far North. Sigh…”
A trace of melancholy appeared on Bingdi’s cold face.
Tian Meng asked: “Bingbing, are you angry?”
“Not really.” Bingdi said calmly, “The child chose to transform and rebuild, which means he knew he couldn’t survive the final catastrophe. After rebuilding, he can only live a hundred more years. This is his fate. Let’s leave it to fate.”
Although he said this, Bingdi felt more and more uneasy.
Huo Yuhao stood up and walked out of the private room, saying casually, “I’m going to go out for a walk.”
After saying this, his figure was simulated and hidden, and he disappeared into the private room.
“Yuhao?” Wang Dong was slightly stunned, but didn’t think much about it.
In VIP room No. 1, Xu Jiujiu was sitting here, seemingly waiting for something.
She deliberately sent everyone away to leave a private space.
Suddenly, the door opened out of nowhere and closed automatically after a few seconds.
Huo Yuhao appeared and said with a smile, “Your Highness, long time no see.”
Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, “It’s been more than a year since we last met. You’ve really become more elusive, little brother Yuhao.”
“Xu… Where is His Majesty the Emperor?” Huo Yuhao asked, “I just felt his presence.”
“I sent him away.” Xu Jiujiu said with a smile, “He was shocked when he recognized you at the Fighting Spirit Competition.”
“You are able to represent Shrek Academy in the competition. You have really grown up. You are a little genius. Your spirit power… is so high?”
Xu Jiujiu was also surprised when she realized the level of Huo Yuhao’s soul power. She knew the problems with Huo Yuhao’s soul power.
“I’m still far inferior to Her Royal Highness the Princess.” Huo Yuhao said modestly. After all, Xu Jiujiu is now a powerful Soul King.
He asked again: “I came here today mainly to discuss a few issues with Her Royal Highness the Princess.”
“Yes, Senior Cheng Gang told me. If you have any questions, just tell me directly.” Xu Jiujiu said.
Huo Yuhao said: “Let’s talk about the soul bone first. This is a problematic item.”
Xu Jiujiu joked, “Isn’t this really an excuse for you to keep this soul bone for yourself? To be honest, I was really scared when I heard your voice suddenly in my mind just now. Is it your soul skill?”
Just when she was presiding over the auction, Huo Yuhao’s voice suddenly appeared in her mind, telling her that there was something wrong with this spirit bone and asking her to stop the auction.
Xu Jiujiu reacted quickly and immediately raised the starting price, then let the people at the auction house bid for it themselves.
“Yes.” Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and shared the clear mental detection with Xu Jiujiu.
After a brief moment of surprise, he praised in surprise.
Huo Yuhao said: “Only the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit can absorb the Ice Jade Scorpion’s soul bone. This is the pride of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan.”
Xu Jiujiu placed the exquisite box containing the Ice Jade Scorpion’s left arm bone on the table and pushed it to him: “No need to say more, I believe you. It’s just that…”
“Thanks to you, our treasury is not full right now, and we were counting on these businesses to make money. You’ve made us lose more than 10 million gold soul coins today.”
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Your Highness, only money that is in circulation can be called wealth. The gold soul coins piled up in the national treasury are meaningless. The more you invest, the more money you can make, and the more wealth the entire country will have.”
Xu Jiujiu shrugged: “I can’t argue with you. Anyway, the 100,000-year soul beast embryo tonight is the big deal.”
“But how are you going to make it up to me, little brother Yuhao?”
Huo Yuhao was silent for a while, then he stretched out a finger and said, “Same as always, a promise, how about that?”
Xu Jiujiu supported his head with one hand and smiled, “But, with your current strength, what promises can you fulfill?”
Huo Yuhao said: “I am indeed still very weak now, but my brain is quite crazy, isn’t it? If Your Highness Princess is short of money, I can find a way to help you get it.”
“No, I don’t have anything I want right now, but there is one thing I think you can help with.” Xu Jiujiu said with a smile.
“what’s up?”
Xu Jiujiu said: “You are now representing Shrek Academy in the Fighting Soul Competition, right?”
“Yes.”
“According to our observation, you seem to have a very light position in every battle, even though you have made few moves. I’m afraid it’s because of your spirit skill just now, and the martial spirit fusion skill between you and another student, right?”
“Ah.”
Huo Yuhao nodded, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared, as if he had guessed what Xu Jiujiu was going to say.
“Then…” Xu Jiujiu smiled faintly and said, “In the next game, if Xingluo Royal Academy meets your Shrek Academy, can you…”
“What about letting us win?”
As soon as Xu Jiujiu asked the question, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Huo Yuhao’s expression was somewhat cold.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “Your Highness, are you sure you want to do this?”
Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, “I believe you. You said that you would fulfill any promise within your ability.”
“And you’ve always followed that, haven’t you?”
Chapter 139 A Temporarily Calm Auction
Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao calmly with an intriguing smile on his face.
Huo Yuhao had a gloomy face. After a long silence, he said, “Your Highness, although I don’t agree with Shrek Academy, I still feel guilty for betraying the organization directly.”
“I sincerely suggest that you change your request. After all, if I can sell out Shrek for my own personal gain today, I might sell out the Xingluo Empire for my own personal gain tomorrow.”
“As a human being, you need to have some stance after all.”
Xu Jiujiu said quietly, “You don’t need to do anything at all. Just get hit by our soul guide beam at the beginning and be eliminated, right?”
“The results of the subsequent games have nothing to do with you. After all, your team is basically just a reserve team.”
Huo Yuhao’s eyes radiated a bit of chill: “Since you know that this is just a reserve team, do you still have to resort to such means to incite rebellion, Xu Jiujiu?”
“I really don’t care about winning or losing or the ranking, but I only care about fairness.”
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and gently pushed back the box containing the Ice Scorpion’s left arm bone.
She looked at him with a smile on her face for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.
“Hahaha, your eyes are still so interesting. This is the impression I have of little brother Yuhao.”
Her original maturity disappeared in an instant, revealing a relaxed and playful attitude.
Xu Jiujiu pushed the box back and said, “Take it. This princess doesn’t need your betrayal.”
“If we meet in the next elimination match, not only will you not be waterproof, but you will also have to give me your all. Do you understand?”
“This princess will lead Xingluo Royal Academy to defeat any opponent fairly. When the time comes, you must use all your trump cards. Do you understand?”
The originally tense atmosphere dissipated in an instant and became extremely relaxed.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Your Highness, I suggest you go and persuade Brother Yaoheng to rebel. If he does, I promise I won’t say anything and will even applaud.”
For a long time: “…”
She no longer looked serious, but became lively and said, “Just take it. Let’s keep it for now. I’ll tell you when I need it.”
“Thank you, Princess. It’s a wise choice. You know, my abilities are constantly growing. The later I use them, the higher the return rate will be. In the end, maybe I can let you take over Xu Jiawei’s job.”
For a long time: “…”
Huo Yuhao put away his soul bone. This time he did not use a storage soul guide, but pretended to put it into his sea of consciousness.
Tianmeng and Bingdi in the sea of spirit felt something strange when they saw the suddenly appearing soul bone.
Huo Yuhao was not yet proficient in the use of this portable space, and he also discovered several problems.
First, external objects entering and exiting the spiritual sea require the consumption of mental and soul power.
Second, in this icy plane, objects that are not ice-attributed will be slowly eroded by the surrounding cold air.
The Ice Scorpion’s left arm bone was intact and emitting a faint green light, but the box containing the soul bone soon began to stiffen.
Bingdi stroked the left arm bone of the Ice Scorpion with a deep look in his eyes.
Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao and sighed softly, “Little brother Yuhao, five years are almost up. Do you want to see your results?”
“Oh? Let me take a look.”
Xu Jiujiu took out a stack of documents, and the cover of the document read:
“The First Five-Year Plan for the Development of Xingluo City”.
Huo Yuhao smiled confidently: “What’s so good about this? A group of Title Douluo Soul Douluo are working for you. Is it difficult to build the infrastructure?”
Xu Jiujiu said with emotion: “Yes, Xingluo City is different now than it was five years ago. It feels like I haven’t done anything, but it’s getting better and better.”
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Your superiors just need to grasp the general direction, and leave the details to the people below. We should proceed step by step. Development is accumulated bit by bit, and after success, we can promote the experience to the whole country.”
“I won’t read the rest of the content. Just tell me about the development of soul masters and soul guides.”
Xu Jiujiu said: “As for soul masters, there is basically no change from before, but the development of soul guides has indeed accelerated.”
“We have now established a stable exchange study cooperation with the Sun-Moon Empire, but according to what those exchange students said, the Sun-Moon Empire didn’t actually teach them any advanced technology, and they couldn’t learn anything even if they visited Mingde Hall.”
Huo Yuhao frowned: “There’s nothing we can do about it. The core technology won’t be given to you just because you want it.”
Xu Jiujiu sighed, and then he was happy again: “However, the soul guide technology in our Xingluo country is developing very fast. The mysterious mathematics you mentioned does play a very important role in the research of soul guides.”
